Valentin Clastier - Hérésie

Valentin Clastier - Hérésie

Valentin Clastrier is one of the most innovative musicians in France. Although
he launched his career as a guitarist, accompanying such French poets as Jacques Brel and Ricet Barrier, Clastrier has become increasingly experimental. Introduced to the hurdy-gurdy in 1970, designed and built, with violin-maker Denis Siorat, an electro-acoustic hurdy-gurdy viola with twenty-seven strings rather than the standard six. The instrument’s flexibility has enabled Clastrier to explore new musical realms.
